3 This Position Task Book (PTB) has been developed to document the required performance objectives for CONFINED SPACE RESCUE TECHNICIAN certification. Each objective lists the performance requirements (tasks) in a format that allows the individual to be evaluated against written guidelines. Successful performance of all tasks, as observed and recorded by a GFSTC evaluator, will result in a recommendation to the Fire Chief (or an authorized person) of the fire department that the candidate has met part of the prerequisite requirement. Evaluation and confirmation of the individual s performance of all tasks may involve more than one evaluator. It is important that performance be critically evaluated and accurately recorded by each evaluator.
